With Mobile Word Congress going on in Barcelona, there are more phones being announced than you could shake a stick at. One of the more interesting devices, however, is the Samsung Wave. Packing Bluetooth 3.0 and 802.11n WiFi.
Last week rumors did the rounds that said Samsung would release its first Super AMOLED phone. The supposed specs had smartphone fans frothing at the mouth, so how nice when Sunday's announcement bore a slim and sleek device with a 3.3-inch Super AMOLED screen.
With a 1GHz processor and 2GB of internal memory, the Wave is HD ready with 720p playback at 30fps. Running on Samsung's Bada OS, the phone features social networking, content management, location-based services, push notification and commerce services. It packs a messaging service called Social Hub, which, once you register all your accounts, will send you updates from Google, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, Twitter and more.
User interface aside, eWeek reports that the Wave has 5.0-megapixel camera with LED flash, A-GPS with on/off board navigation and 3D maps, voice command, an RSS reader, Bluetooth 3.0 technology and USB 2.0 functionality.
....videos seamlessly?
the specs are pretty awesome! i'd like seeing this baby run the good ol' nes & snes games. also, the 720p @ 30fps looks enticing. i guess this is the new all in one gadget (specs wise)
Gees...with all this big mouthed features I expect 45 minutes of talk time and 1 hour of battery life in idle mode. Well, let us hope otherwise.
No kidding. It seems like the phone portion of all these new devices are just one of the apps it can run. I love smart phones, but it is still primarily a phone to me so reception, listening experience, and call quality are all extremely important to me.

I didn't know there was such a thing?
one thing tho that is not so nice, when using it outside with the sun up, you can barely see anything. and i remember seeing a feature of this super amoled being "20%" better outdoor visibility or something.
hmn, my samsung uses a proprietary OS(i think its an os) and there's little to no support, why not use a well known OS? and lots of bugs for my jet, hope they get this one right.
or is it true that win mobile has limited support for colors and hence limiting the amoled if used under win mobile?
other than outdoor visibility issue, amoled is top notch, imo.
not sure but i hope they used capacitive touch screen on this one. the 800mhz procie on my jet seem slow
What "sound quality" are you talking about please? I've owned a dozen of phones, not a single one had problems in this regard. And what quality do you expect from say GSM connetion, which is, afair, 14.4kbps?
